Josephine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Josie, and I’m a rising senior at Fordham University. I offer child care, dog walking/pet care, and household help. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable. I have experience babysitting children in my neighborhood, and I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy keeping kids entertained through games, crafts, reading, outdoor play, music, and movement. I also have professional experience working with young children through Ballet Petite, where I taught weekly dance camps for children ages 3–6. In this role, I managed groups of up to 7 children at a time, led dance activities, helped with transitions, encouraged participation, and made sure every child felt safe, included, and excited to learn. Because of my dance background, I love bringing creativity and movement into babysitting. I’m also happy to help with children’s routines, basic homework, snacks, simple meals, cooking for the children, light cleaning, tidying up play areas, and helping keep things organized while parents are away. I also offer dog walking and pet care. I have a Thai Ridgeback at home, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs and understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and responsible with pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your children and pets!

Marisol $30 per hour for 1 child

I am 26 year old, have my bachelors degree in Forensics Psychology, experience in driving, running errands and decorating/creating events, cooking small snacks for the kiddos. I have nieces and nephews who I have babysat in the past before they moved to Pennsylvania. My mom is a nanny of 16 years and I have seen her multitask when she began when the little girl was 2 weeks old. I've taken the skills of my mom and have helped me build confident to do the same. I've babysat the girl in the night as the mom would go to her events. I am very organized, detailed-oriented, communicative, punctual. Always willing to help in any way. Part time for nights and weekends, just a student trying to survive out here in nyc lol!

sara $18 per hour for 1 child

Heyy I’m 18 years old I’m at my 1st year of college. I adore and love kids. I have worked with children all ages for my town recreation center during the summer and babysat toddlers from their homes, so I would like to say I’m very experienced. I communicate openly and effectively with parents, understanding the importance of their preferred communication method, whether it's written daily reports or regular updates via text or phone call. I enforce household rules by following the parents' lead, ensuring consistency and a sense of security for the children in my care. When it comes to playtime, I love engaging children in outdoor sports and physical games, as well as board games and puzzles. I also enjoy incorporating educational games that promote learning and development.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
